Of Trees

The tree grows as deep as high
But it cannot fly
It tests the air and moisture store
But cannot fare the core.

And I pursue the whale by sail
Yet cannot do the bail
The wind turns in eddy pools
And churns me like a fool

I’ve cast the search to fantasy
Agony and ecstasy
The bells that toll ferry my soul
That is my very goal.

Forgive my arrows vanity
Perhaps insanity
I’ve courtship all my eye of I
And sip upon the sigh.

Yet still I wish upon the star
And wonder how they are.

Ah, the poet's mind,
never still, and always
a cool pool by which to
refresh...

I'm still looking for the
tree that holds Merlin...

Lovely lovely morning write Sy!
Oh, to look at the world through your eyes.
Wonderful thing it would be.
~Morning hugs & tea, Nancy~

To have lived the dream of a love so true...
   is to have seen a glimpse of heaven.

Good morning, Dear T-Man!

A tree is a tree, is a tree.
A star is a star, is a star.
You are as strong, as an oak,
And I love who you are, who you are!

"And sip upon the sigh."


I like that very much, SY (sigh)

I was thinking of a tree too this morning...although it has died, it is still there standing tall, reaching high...

Your arrows dear Seymour always hit the right places ...
Trees may not fly, but they reveal beautiful whispers and you hear.
Love and hugs. Margherita

"Yet still I wish upon the star
And wonder how they are."

That's because you're just so darned sweet.

I came looking for you today, sy--I realized I hadn't had a cuddle-bear hug in awhile.



ah...much better.

lovely whisper of trees...

~~**~~
The sound of silence calls,
I hear your voice and suddenly
I'm falling, lost in a dream
The echo of our souls meet
